Just want to hear your thoughts about reversing HPA axis dysfunction from severe prolonged stress.
Every kinda stress imagined got me here: 14 hour work days, chronic under eating, heavy emotional load, poverty, not having running water, mold in collapsed house.
Been two years of:
Living in a nice home/no mold.
Been one year of:
Eating peat.
Gained 25lbs
I use:
Cypro at night .5mg to genuinely help me cope with stress
Aspirin 325mg x2 daily
Magnesium bicarb
Raw carrots
Bone marrow/calcium sups from ancestral supplements
Vit K3 blend from throne
Micro dose of MB
Progest-E, big glob in the evening.
Thyromix but I don't feel anything from it.
Breath work for stress reduction
Vagus nerve toning for stress response
I will say I am feeling better compared to last year for sure & I am working hard (ironically enough) to reduce my workload but it will never go all the way away.
I also have a teenager that eats me emotionally as I help her through her current self inflicted illness.
So I can't get rid of this stress.
I'm just curious about kicking the system back online so to speak. Prior to the last 3 years stress was not hard for me to handle, but 2019-21 just fu(king ate me alive & spat out my hollow bones.
Last I tested, about 8 months back, my cortisol was flipped. Almost zero in the daytime & dangerous high at night. I feel like that has improved just based on my ability to sleep through the night & better daytime energy levels.
Just to say: I ovulate like clockwork, periods aren't painful, clear skin with no effort, long nails, long hair, poop daily with "ghost wipes" + no digestive issues.
So looking for help is frustrating because the above makes people think "you're fine".
Primary issue is crazy fatigue & inability to cope with stress/focus.
Have gained a ton of weight, don't mind I needed it(still only 125 LBS at 5'5).
But gained unevenly in upper arms/stomach. I know the stomach could be cortisol, thinking upper arms are low testosterone.
Last hormone panel said (8 months ago) I had really low everything, including estrogen.
Sky high DHEA but that's typically for stress loads (don't have cancer before someone says that.)
Can't do thiamine ( because someone's gana say it's thiamine ?) because of benzo damage from years ago, do eat a sh!t ton of foods rich in it.
Have had decent changes from reducing serotonin, even my body odor basically went away.
Kinda just feel like I'm close to the ah ha moment I just am missing some little puzzle piece (besides two more years of healing ?) that will tip the scales back in my "don't lose everything you've worked for" favor because you can't cope with stress anymore.
Ideas? Experience?
